Hutt River Control
Sir, —Now that the sad state of the Hutt River Board lias been brought to the public notice through your valuable columns, it should be clear to the river board that they should, resign and make way for us river-land owners to appoint a more suitable board. My life’s savings to a great extent are tied up in my home and farm, and with every flood I am on tenterhooks wondering if my home and land is going down the river. We see (Air land being steadily washed away every flood and nothing of a permanent nature appears to be done to endeavour to protect it, only willow stakes tied together with wire and stuck against the washouts which wash away with the first iiood. Why we river-laud owners have tolerated this wastage of our land for so many years is probably because we have never before had anyone to give .us a lead to expose the state of affairs on the river. Now that that lead has been given us we should not rest till we can get a little satisfaction. —I am, etc., BUILDER AND FARMER. Belmont, October 16.
